Yep, you set people off and it's not too difficult to see why. You are a very confident person. Some people read that as "cocky" rather than confident and in control of the situation.
LOL! Anything but! Well then maybe that's why it's mostly when it's in writing and not in person. I will sometimes reword something 10 times in writing. I can't do that in person. Also, no one can see me bite my fingernails or twitch my foot or look down or rub my head in confusion as I think this out. Body language adds a lot to an interaction. I don't like to set people off, and I'll do my best not to, but I'm not going to be artificial to do so. Like you said, to what end?
I'm sorry for your drama! Of course, sometimes that can help the healing. Sort of "sears over" the pain. I know every time my H does something rude to me, it puts one more nail in his coffin. So is your H still at the house with you? Or did he move out? And is OW officially an OW now? I thought he was denying that. I wish you were close enough that we could go have a margarita together. Of course one would become three and then we'd be messed up. Not all bad, though, maybe.
